On 1 September 1939, Nazi Germany’s invasionof Poland set the Second World War into motion. Two days later, AustralianPrime Minister Robert Gordon Menzies followed Britain’s lead and declared thatAustralia was at war with Germany.

Almost one million Australians served in theSecond World War, joining the war effort primarily in the Mediterranean and theMiddle East in 1940 and 1941, and increasingly in the Pacific after Japanentered the war in December 1941. Women served as well, with women’s branchesof the Army, Navy and Air Force established in 1941.

By the time the war came to an end inSeptember 1945, close to 40,000 Australians had lost their lives in the courseof their service.

In honour of the courageous Australians whoserved in the Second World War, the Royal Australian Mint presents these coins.The coins features a wreath of red poppies – an enduring symbol of remembrancein Australia and other Commonwealth nations. Surrounded by sculpted leaves, theeight poppies in the wreath represent the eight decades that have passed sincethe most devastating war in human history.
